But think of all the money you've not saved by not buying duty free cigarettes and smoking them.
Instead you've saved nothing by not smoking. What a loss

Wow yeah it really mounts up. Over the last 4 years averaging 15 trips a year that I could have saved 70$ per trip I reckon thats over 1000$ a year , I shall have to adjust my tax return and put it as a capital loss.

Re: $300 fine for ciggy butt!!
just wanna add my tuppenny worth. I have just fallen off the wagon again unfortunately and am back on the fags 
(boo hiss-but will get off 'em again very soon I promise) When ever I have been a smoker there is one thing I cant abide and that is other smokers dropping thier butts wherever they like! I always take my stinky butts with me or put them in the nearest bin. I HATE littering in all its forms. I have enough self loathing that I am smoking again but the snide looks I get from people who see me having a smoke is bad enough- I wouldnt want to add insult to injury and drop the butts on the floor too.
Mo, tell your mate to get a grip and dont do it again!

Probably get floored by the do-gooders but i don't care!
Got a $300 fine for throwing a ciggy butt out of the car window!! Robbing barstewards!!
Heard all the comments about startin a bushfire etc...... nowhere near any greenery. Anyway $300 would buy a lot of little baby trees from bunnings
Get a life and report those who are a real danger on the roads! Let me have a bloody smoke in peace.
Just bought an ashtray to put my butts in but the car stinks!

Hey before i am sentenced to death, i'd like to explain...
It wasn't me, it was a passenger in my car. She threw out the butt, i got the notice thru the post, i had to do a stat dec thing to say it was my passenger for which she got the right hump!! She had to cough up the fine. She then bought a dollar ashtray thing for her car, defo learnt her lesson.
Last nite she thought it would be a good idea to get other peeps views so stuck up a thread! Hoho and what a response!! Can't wait for her to see!!
Basically she thinks i'm in the wrong for making her pay even though it was her fag in my car.
Me (Mo 33) am innocent, i might meet some of you one day - don't wanna be lynched!! Thanks x

Lets all jump on the bandwagon and vilify smokers even when we're not directly affected by their habit and despite the fact that they pay more to the exchequer than they receive in health care, not least because they die earlier.
Now if it was homosexuality/lesbianism which was publicly exhibited not a word of condemnation would be heard from heterosexuals (the overriding majority) despite such practises being off limits and unacceptable to most "normal" people in their personal lives. Furthermore homosexuals net contribution to the health service is less than smokers when you consider the amount spent on AIDS and other disorders. At the same time we have to applaud things like Gay Pride (a freak parade) and in the UK with some jobs in the public sector it is beneficial to be gay because positive discrimination applies in Labour's mad, pc world.
My kids are all in their 20s and like me don't smoke but as a teenager I'd rather my son experimented with smoking than buggery yet Labour raised the age for smoking from 16 - 18 for health reasons yet reduced the age of gay consent from 18 -16 for er...er... well not for health reasons anyway.
Cue the abuse from all the hypocrites....

All I can say is I'm bloody glad I don't live in Qld. The fine is $75 here in WA - I know - I got one today!
And I deserved it, no excuse.

Re: $300 fine for ciggy butt!!
I saw someone throw a butt out of a car on the GC last year. The central reservation just burst into flames. We returned later and saw the aftermath - just a few tens of metres burnt out and put out by a fire engine. I wonder how much it cost to get the fire engine there?
